The two sides highly valued the new developments of bilateral relations in various fields, particularly defence.

They applauded the two defence ministries’ measures to strengthen multi-field cooperation with defence ties being an important pillar, including Belarus’ help to train Vietnamese military officers.

The two sides expressed their belief that cooperation agreements reached by the two defence ministries will help create a new momentum for furthering Viet Nam -Belarus ties.

The Vietnamese guest stressed that amid changes in the world political and security situations, the strengthening of cooperation and exchange of experience in building armed forces and issues of mutual concern between the two ministries will foster trust and understanding as well as friendship and cooperation for the peace, stability and development of each country and the world.
